Google Blogger Canned

Mark Jen lasted only 11 days in his new job with Google. Along with some insider talk about the company and their products, Jen had used his blog to post a comparison of compensation packages with his former employer, Microsoft, concluding that Google came up a bit short. A January 26 post admitted that he had taken down some content that probably shouldn't have been posted, but denied he was asked to do it by his Google superiors. In fact he said the company had "been pretty cool about all this". Last Friday the company ran out of "cool".
